The two reasons for Cristiano Ronaldo to continue at Manchester United

Being eliminated in the second round of the Champions League, being out -for now- of the next Champions League and living in an unstable environment are enough reasons to think that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United. Despite the adverse context and after a necessary respite, the striker thought better about his future and there are a couple of reasons for this.

From the outset, according to what the AS newspaper reveals, the ‘Red Devils’ board ended up being convinced that appointing Ralf Rangnick as interim coach was a big mistake. Thus, the German who arrived to hold a position within the high command, right now is closer to dismissal. Undoubtedly, encouraging news for the Portuguese.

In recent weeks, the main English media indicated that the relationship between Cristiano and the German coach is completely broken. Moreover, the DT of the ‘Red Devils’ publicly questioned the work of the top scorer in the history of football in front of the opposing goal throughout the campaign.

Under Rangnick, who arrived in November to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the team has been too patchy. The handling of the Teuton, even, was a topic of conversation in the Manchester United internal. On this, the reports indicated that the soccer players are not happy with the ways that the DT uses to work.

That way, without Rangnick in the middle and presumably out of the club, Cristiano Ronaldo can trust the Old Trafford project again. The striker, author of 18 goals in 33 games in the current season, has the support of a contract signed until the end of the following campaign: mid-2023.

It only remains to wait for the movement of the United high command that is taking the necessary time to hire the next coach. In this regard, the newspaper The Telegraph announced that the chosen one is Erik Ten Hag, currently at Ajax, a club that also left in the second round of the Champions League.

The goal of the ‘Red Devils’

Without the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and very far from the top of the Premier League, Manchester United, with Cristiano Ronaldo, have the great mission of being among the top four in the table to go to the next edition of the ‘ Orejona’. Currently, the team is fifth with 51 points, one less than Arsenal (50). But the ‘Gunners’ have two pending games.
